My thoughts on your reply, plus a couple of related points:

Thank you for your reply! Yes, the idea is to load the CongasEv8[single] RealDrums (Ntn276), performed by Jim McGillveray, directly into a Utility Track—that is, to generate it there, not copy the notes from another track. The goal is to use the Play/Generate button so that BIAB 2025 creates the RealDrums content from scratch within the Utility Track.

I’m pointing this out because, when copying notes from a Drums track to a Utility Track, BIAB does not transfer proper drum notation (crash cymbals, kick, snare, toms, floor toms, etc.). Instead, it shows generic melodic notation, which is not useful for percussion reading.

What I’m trying to verify is whether BIAB 2025, when generating a RealDrums part directly in a Utility Track, now displays full drum notation correctly in both the Notation window and the Lead Sheet window. If this is now possible, it would be excellent news—it would mean PG Music has finally achieved parity between legacy tracks and Utility Tracks in terms of drum notation.

Also, on a different note, I’d like to ask:

In BIAB 2022 (UltraPAK, build 927), when I write lyrics in the Melody track via the Notation window, BIAB automatically duplicates those lyrics into the Soloist track, even if that track is empty. This happens without user action, and it’s problematic, especially if one wants to use different lyrics for each track.

Do you know if this behavior has been fixed in BIAB 2025? Ideally, lyrics should remain only on the track where the user places them.
